Body weight (A), food intake (B) and RWA (C) in Control, Exercise, Restricted and ABA groups during the 10 days of recovery from ABA. Results are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 42 rats per group). Statistical analysis was performed by two‐way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test (Body weight: $P < 0.05 vs Restricted, Exercise and Control rats, §P < 0.05 vs Exercise and Control rats; food intake: $P < 0.05 vs Restricted, Exercise and Control rats, §P < 0.05 and δP < 0.05 vs Control rats; RWA: $P < 0.05 vs Exercise rats).
